Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.

Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.

Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.

    This comment is a minor masterpiece of rambling disjointed incoherence. I couldn’t do better if I tried. Were you roaring drunk when you wrote it? Do you even remember writing it?

      Look at Russia. Now imagine that Putin is probably straight.
